Not content with starring in pretty much every single film due out this year and in 2014 (his slate includes 12 Years a Slave, The Fifth Estate and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), Cumberbatch is rumoured to be up for a part in Star Wars Episode 7.

He’s already done Star Trek Into Darkness so we know he can do sci-fi and gets on with Star Wars director JJ Abrams, but will he be swapping the Starship Enterprise for the Galactic Empire?

She’s had small roles in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and Dorian Gray but is probably best known for her role as Wendy in Peter Pan back in 2003 – perhaps Star Wars Episode 7 could be relaunch her career?
